Continuing with my new build, but I didn't get very far. I'm
building various python things before I build the gimp (actually,
gimp-2.10.0-RC2 for this build) and the python2 part of pygobject3
failed. From config.log in the python2 directory:
configure:14658: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "pycairo >= 1.11.1
"
Package pycairo was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `pycairo.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'pycairo' found
(etc)
But I had just built and installed pycairo-1.17.0, and lookign at
the log from that, *everything* it installed was under
/usr/lib/python{2.7,3.6}/site-packages/ : not a pkgconfig file in
site.
On previous builds (1.16.2, 1.16.3) I had pkgconfig files:
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/py3cairo.pc
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/pycairo.pc
The setup.py script is the usual mass of impenetrable python stuff,
but I see it at least reports if the pkgconfig files are not
installed. And looking at my log, guess what:
running install_pkgconfig
Skipping install_pkgconfig, not supported with bdist_egg
Yeugh!
Since one of the purposes of this build is to sort out a gimp
script, I'll revert to 1.16.3.
Can anybody else confirm my results ?

calculus. I couldn't do them in my 20s either, so no big loss.
